[QUOTE="TheSeer, post: 4028468, member: 55695"] I think what you need to look at is that bolded section. If your players are clamoring for something you don't want to give, there are three choices: 1) Do the same as you do now and get the long faces and just tough it out 2) Get new players - the ones you have must not fit with your game style. Find ones who do. 3) Look at *WHY* these people want to play something else and see if it is a good reason. Maybe they are just tied of playing regular humans. It is a fantasy role playing game after all. Many people don't wanna just play themselves. They want to do the fantastic, be someone they aren't. And the best way to do (in some opinions) is to go all out and play that stereotypical cranky dwarf, haughty elf, or something brand new, like tiefling and dragonborn. And if after thinking about what is best for your players, your game and yourself, you still come down to not wanting to have unusual non-humans in your game, then figure out which of #1 or #2 you are going to have to do.
